(10,149 posts)"The savings from a single-payer system would probably exceed $200 billion a year, far more than the cost of covering all of those now uninsured. " Krugman quote from above.
I'm a little fixated on and still very upset about this:
Facts on Deaths Due to Lack of Health Insurance in US
http://obamacarefacts.com/facts-on-deaths-due-to-lack-of-health-insurance-in-us/
Sorry folks, I just can't and won't let go of it. Tens of thousands of Americans are dying each year without healthcare.
From the above, not being able to cover these dying Americans isn't an issue in terms of not having the money with single payer to cover everybody. US citizens have to continue to die without US healthcare because Wall Street wants the additional healthcare profits more than they want the dying US citizens and US politicians find that making an effort for these dying US citizens is not "pragmatic".
For my own clarity, I am missing anything here?
